Overview
Moving away from accepted notions of educational theory and practice, Kieran Egan proposes a radical new way to look at education. Working from a perspective first presented in his book, Primary Understanding, Egan describes his view of the education process as asequence of progressively more sophisticated layers of understanding. Romantic Understanding focuses of how typical eight to fifteen year olds are engaged by knowledge and most readily make sense of experience.
